To get kicked out of the bridal party? Best theory wins.

What on earth did Hannah and Rachael do?

The MoH has booked some astronomically expensive holiday/activities for the Hen do and H and R have said they can't afford it and they're not paying for tacky personalised polyester kimonos either.

Didn't realise this could be in poor taste. I thought the fb marketplace ad was funny, but I now see it could have been for tragic/sad reasons. I'll delete this.

Oh come on OP, it is funny. If the wedding didn't go ahead due to tragic circumstances then flogging the robes on Marketplace is in far, far worse taste than a lighthearted thread.

I highly doubt the whole wedding has been called off "one for Hannah for sale, one for Rachel too" and calling out their individual names has a hint of annoyance to me.

If it was the entire bridal party you'd just say "X number of new bridesmaid robes". I think there's a backstory here - bride is no longer inviting Hannah or Rachel

I thought the title was going to be what on earth did Hannah and Rachel see in Jo.

They have probably already been used. I doubt anyone has been kicked out.

Maybe the wedding was called off.

garej · 28/06/2024 22:27

They refused to have matching toe nails’ polish?

Me too. I keep getting Spotify adverts for Rachel's new autobiography so I was hoping someone had the gossip from it to save me actually reading it.

New autobiography?? How many lives does she have 😂Especially considering she is one of the most boring celebs ever

*Edit I'm aware this is not the point of this thread

Reddog1 · 28/06/2024 22:21

Probably something really prosaic like the women didn’t like them when they arrived.

crochetmonkey74 · 28/06/2024 22:16

I reckon the twins of each Rannah and Hachael did it instead

Blink282 · 28/06/2024 22:16

They refused to run a free creche at the reception?

Dracuuule · 28/06/2024 22:13

Rachael should have been Rachel,of course.

Dracuuule · 28/06/2024 22:12

They were just pissed off because the bossy friend who organised it couldn't even be bothered to spell Hana's and Rachael's name correctly.
They refused to wear them and preferred to walk around the air bnb in their knickers.

My DH's niece sold her bridesmaids' stuff unworn as the wedding was called off. That was the first I heard the wedding was off - she posted everything literally days after they called it off, including her wedding dress. It made me so sad seeing it on there as a way of finding out - but people are practical, especially if they need to recoup the money.

Hmmm. If there was some sort of tragic reason the wedding hadn't gone ahead, would selling the robes on Marketplace for a fiver be anyone's first thought?

No one is saying its the bride selling it - a friend might be selling them to get rid of them for the bride. The bride may no longer be with us.

Who says it's their first thought. They could have been bought for months ago.

Edited

I’m sorry but if the bride is sadly no longer around then it’s in v v poor taste to be trying to make a few quid on the unused robes…..and if I was either Rachael or Hannah then I’d rather keep hold of it.

sounds to me to be more of a cancelled wedding for whatever reason and a chance to recoup some of the funds spent!

YouWillGetThere · 28/06/2024 21:56

I have no idea, but my bridesmaid took her really beautiful dress to a charity shop and I was gutted. I would have been really glad to have it myself.

Staplerandstappler · 28/06/2024 21:55

They saw those dresses and said “fuck no”.

I vote that the bride and groom have banned Hannah's newborn & partner from the wedding (no ring, no bring!) which is 6 hours drive from her home and requires her to be 'on duty' from 5am to 3am the following day, so she's dropped out.

Rachel has put her head above the parapet and suggested that £1000 each for a 3 day hen in Ibiza staying in a scuzzy hostel but with specially purchased matching outfits + personalised cowboy boots for each day, a spendy day at O beach (food and drinks not included) and a grim male stripper is ridiculous, so has been ousted.

Rachel is being very unreasonable here 😂

Quite disappointed this isn't an S Club 7 thread

What is this about?

The reason why Hannah and Rachael's unused personalised bridesmaid robes are on sale for a fiver.

Sarah refused to dye her hair and Rachel refused to cut hers.

Removed comment as I didn't think about the very sensible reasoning that this thread could be in poor taste.

magnoliablooms · 28/06/2024 21:30

Leadersdebacle · 28/06/2024 21:19

The thought crossed my mind that they may have been the only bridesmaids and for any number of reasons the wedding didn't go ahead. I think it would be kinder not to speculate in case it causes someone upset

This is what I thought. I think this thread is in poor taste.
